degs  that  you  will  accept^  with  its  compliments,  this 
illustrated  programme^  commetnorative  of  the  2^oth 
consecutive  performance  of  "  Hazel  Kirke  "  /;/  New 
York  City.  At  its  238//?  performance  this  play  had 
exceeded  in  the  number  of  its  consecutive  presen- 
tatiofis  in  New  York,  any  similar  play  ever  pro- 
duced in  this  country.  It  is  thought  therefore  that 
this  collectio7i  of'^^ooY  i^i^'R'E.S'SiO]^'^  illustrating  scenes 
and  faces  from  the  drama,  may  not  be  altogether 
uninteresting. 

Mr.  Kelly,  the  artist — who  is  favorably  known 
by  his  illustrations  in  Harper  s,  Scribners,  St.  Nicho- 
las a?id  The  Art  Interchange — has  made  studies 
from  life,  from  members  of  the  company  in  character. 
In  any  other  way  it  would  have  beeti  impossible 
for  him  to  confine  himself  to  "  tender  "  outlines  with- 
out some  sacrifice  in  drawi?ig,  action  or  composition. 

As  a  specimen  of  typographic  art  this  album  is 
unique.  It  has  been  making  for  nearly  three 
months  and  is  the  best  work  of  The  Art  hiter- 
change  Press.  The  text  is  printed  on  heavy  laid 
paper  j  the  twenty  proofs  on  100- lb.  steel  plate  paper 
and  the  rubricated  quotations  before  each  plate  on  a 
fine  quality  of  onio?i-skin  paper.^^^^^^^^^^

HAZEL   KIRKE. 


mR.  STEELE  M  ACKAYE'S  comedy-drama, 
"Hazel  Kirke,"  has  now  surpassed  in  the 
number  of  its  consecutive  presentations  in  New 
York  city  any  similar  play  ever  produced  in  this 
country.  It  was  originally  intended  to  present  it 
for  the  first  time  at  the  Madison  Square  Theatre, 
under  the  title  of  ''  An  Iron  Will."  Owing,  how- 
ever, to  the  elaborate  construction  of  the  house, 
and  the  difficultv  encountered  in  excavating  solid 
rock  for  the  *'  Double  Stage,"  the  completion  of 
that  theatre  was  delayed.     In  consequence  of  this 


**  An  Iron  Will "  was  performed  about  seventy  times 
in  various  cities,  its  initial  presentation  being  made 
in  Providence,  R.  I.,  October  27th,  1879,  and  Phila- 
delphia, Baltimore,  Washington,  Brooklyn,  and 
Albany  being  among  the  cities  visited. 

The  original  cast  of  the  play  was  as  follows  : 

Hazel  Kirke Miss  Effie  Ellsler 

Dolly  Button Miss  Du  Sauld 

Emily  Carringford Mrs.  Cecile  Rush 

Mercy  Kirke Mrs.  Thos.  WhiflFen 

Clara Miss  Annie  Ellsler 

DuNSTAN  Kirke Mr.  C.  W.  Couldock 

Arthur  Carringford Sir  William  Magnay 

PiTTACUS  Green Mr.  Thos.  Whiffen 

Aaron  Rodney Mr.  Frank  Weston 

Barney  OTlynn Mr.  Edw.  Coleman 

Changes  in  the  cast  have  been  made  from  time 
to  time.  The  part  of  Rodney  has  been  filled  in  turn 
by  Mr.  Dominick  Murray,  Mr.  Steele  MacKaye  and 
Mr.  Aveling  ;  the  part  of  Arthur  by  Mr.  MacKaye, 
Mr.  Ringgold,  Mr.  Eben  Plympton,  and  Mr.  Gusta- 
vus  Levick  ;  while  Miss  Georgia  Cay  van  has  relieved 
Miss  Du  Sauld  as  Dolly  Dutton  ;  and  a  new  char- 
acter, that  of  Met  Miggins  has  been  introduced, 
which  is  played  by  Mr.  Jose[)h  Frankau. 


On  the  evening  of  Wednesday,  February  4th, 
1880,  the  play  was  presented  at  the  Madison  Square 
Theatre  for  the  first  time  in  New  York,  and  under 
the  name  of  *'  Hazel  Kirke."  Of  its  career  since 
then  it  is  unnecessary  to  speak  at  length.  Its  con- 
tinued run  through  the  sultry  Summer  months,  the 
sincere  commendation  of  the  large  audiences  that 
have  nightly  witnessed  it,  and,  among  the  lesser 
things,  this  illustrated  programme,  commemorative 
of  its  two  hundred  and  fiftieth  performance  at 
the  Madison  Square  Theatre,  are  convincing  evi- 
dence of  its  unprecedented  success.
